#140 New Belgium - Mothership Wit

This wit beer is made from organically grown hop, malt and orange peel. There are only a few beers on the market that are organic because most hops are non-organic, either pesticides or fertilizers. I had this beer a the Newstead Public House, they have a nice selection of beers and pairings in the menu.

This wit has a very citrus orange smell, with a hint of yeast aroma. The color was the normal pale cloudy yellow that is normal for a wit. There was no head on this beer, but it was served on draft at a bar, they might not have poured any head. The beer was also server very cold, I would have preferred the beer a few degrees warmer.

The taste is has good orange notes with plenty of citrus taste. There was also a hint of hop flavor to the beer which balanced well with the orange flavor. This is a very smooth a refreshing beer, a wit is a good choice for a summer beer.

I usually enjoy a Wit beer, but they are always so similar. Standard pale yellow color, citrus taste, and smooth. This beer stood out because of the added hop flavor to go along side the orange.
